Scout Niblett - The Calcination of Scout Niblett (2010)

question: how do you get your ultra-minimalist singer/songwriter album to not suck? answer: get Steve Albini to produce it. and when i say ultra-minimal, i mean it; nothing here but Scout's voice, electric guitar, and drums (she plays 'em all) - no synth-y overdubs, back-up singers, or shitty canned strings, just Albini's trademark inside-your-skull percussion, fuzzed-out dirges of riffs, and vocals vaguely reminiscent of the chick from Denali (what ever happened to her?). there's excellent use of silence throughout - it never feels cluttered or busy, yet manages to be incredibly forceful at times. a must listen for the engineer/producer crowd.
